Dr. Candace Body , LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges tied to parenting and family life. She has two decades of experience and works with individuals who are navigating mood disorders, ADHD-related behaviors, grief, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with body image, postpartum concerns, and career or purpose questions.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on what a person needs right now and on skills that can be used between meetings. She blends client-centered work with goal-focused methods so conversations stay grounded and actionable.

Dr. Body draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear short-term goals and build steps toward them. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment.

Her background includes extensive work in residential and outpatient community mental health settings, where she provided individual and group support for people with mood and trauma-related concerns. That experience informs a steady, no-nonsense style in sessions.

People who choose her often want a therapeutic relationship that feels like a partnership. She emphasizes open communication, respect, and practical progress. She accepts sessions in English and also works with international clients when appropriate.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience first. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clarify goals so each session feels relevant and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety, which can help with depression, stress, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase focus for people dealing with anxiety, trauma reminders, and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit goals and preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is not possible. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins around work or caregiving tasks and to maintain momentum between longer sessions. These formats increase flexibility and let people continue therapy from different locations and schedules.
